-----   Canada's on fire : climate action is the extinguisher

 

The vast majority of fossil fuel workers in Canada want the government to get to work legislating a Just Transition. According to a poll recently released by Iron & Earth, 69% of oil and gas workers are interested in shifting to jobs in the green economy. What are they waiting for? The Just Transition Act that Justin Trudeau promised over two years ago.  

This failure to legislate a Just Transition is even more glaring when you look across Canada right now and see the extreme heat, wildfires, drought and floods ravaging the country. We need to stop expanding fossil fuels and get serious about the transition, and to do that, we need Justin Trudeau to stop just trying to look like a climate leader and actually be one.
